THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH - Closing Weekend at Playhouse Square
by Theatre 01 Mar '23

01 Mar '23

------------------------------------------------ Cleveland State University Presents World-Ending Classic Comedy THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH at Playhouse Square Thornton Wilder’s humorous disaster play enters closing weekend March 2-March 5, 2023 Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance presents: THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH CLOSING WEEKEND - March 2, 2023 through March 5, 2023 Outcalt Theatre in the Allen Theatre Complex (Playhouse Square) THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH combines farce, burlesque, satire, and elements of the comic strip. Author Thornton Wilder depicts an Everyman family as it narrowly escapes one end-of-the-world disaster after another, from the Ice Age to flood to war. Although written in 1942, the play feels surprisingly timely in our modern era. Tickets $5-$15<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playh…> General show times are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 PM, and Sunday at 2:00 PM. $5-$15 tickets are available by calling 216.241.6000, visiting playhousesquare.org<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playh…>, or buy in person 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex. Visit our website at www.csuohio.edu/theatredance for more information. Meet George and Maggie Antrobus of Excelsior, New Jersey, a suburban, commuter-town couple (married for 5,000 years), who bear more than a casual resemblance to that first husband and wife, Adam and Eve; the two Antrobus children, Gladys (perfect in every way, of course) and Henry (who likes to throw rocks and was formerly known as Cain); and their garrulous maid, Sabina (the eternal seductress), who takes it upon herself to break out of character and interrupt the course of the drama at every opportunity (“I don’t understand a word of this play!”). Whether he is inventing the alphabet or merely saving the world from apocalypse, George and his redoubtable family somehow manage to survive – by the skin of their teeth. Written in 1942, THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH broke from established theatrical conventions and walked off with the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Directed by Toby Vera Bercovici. American Sign Language (ASL) Supported Performance Thursday, March 2, 2023 is a designated performance that will be presented with American Sign Language (ASL) support, with ASL interpreters signing in tandem alongside the live production. $5 tickets for this show are also available using Promo Code “ASL” when ordering. Performing Interpreters Doug Braun & Erin LaFountain.

NAC TEEN THEATRE AUDITIONS:
by Vanessa Cook 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Norwalk Arts Center's teen theatre is open to students that will be entering grade 9 -13 for the 2023/24 school year. There is no fee to audition NAC's Teen Theatre is an audition based program. Students are required to audition to participate. Not all students that audition may be cast. Students who are not cast are encouraged to participate in other areas of the production including costumes, lighting, sound and crew. This year's show is *The Drowsy Chaperone*. When a die-hard theatre fan plays his favorite cast album, the characters come to life in this hilarious musical farce. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, *The Drowsy Chaperone* is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and *The Drowsy Chaperone* begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight. Hailed by *New York Magazine* as "The Perfect Broadway Musical," *The Drowsy Chaperone* is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre. *Auditions will be held March 27 and 28, 2023 from 5 - 7 pm *at 22 E <https://www.google.com/maps/search/22+E+Main+St?entry=gmail&source=g> Main St <https://www.google.com/maps/search/22+E+Main+St?entry=gmail&source=g>. , Norwalk, OH. Please fill out the attached audition form.Teens should prepare a short monologue and 16-18 bar of music to sing, accompanist will be provided, teens will also be asked to give a cold reading of script cuts. *Performances will be held at 22 E Main Street, Norwalk, Ohio June 9-11, 2023.* For more information visit *NorwalkArtsCenter.org* To sign up for an audition time follow this link: NAC TEEN AUDITION FORM <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ziWcpSS1RMLX_UBEtYUeL-H2vDSYDu6P5RfGrJvJXQ…> -- cookt <cooktheatredesigns(a)gmail.com>heatre <cooktheatredesigns(a)gmail.com> designs(a)gmail.com <cooktheatredesigns(a)gmail.com> https://www.facebook.com/CookTheatreDesigns <https://www.facebook.com/VCook.CTD.LLC/> https://cooktheatredesigns.wixsite.com/cook-theatre-designs
